I think exploring carbon capture, and funding smaller projects is fine but I don't accept the oil industry using it as an excuse to keep doing what they're doing and hamper transitions to renewables.

We will still need oil/fossil fuel for some fuel applications, lubricants and some plastics. But it can be far, far less than what we use today, and like smoking, it's being propped up by these companies and some international governments.
